Description
Access to decision-making processes for planning and policies regarding the environment, cities and space has been at the forefront of the public discourse in recent years. Ranging from international organizations and academic research to local governments the notions of participation, transparency, and engagement of citizens have been gradually identified as essential for addressing today’s societal, economic, and environmental challenges.
The scientific conference “Participatory Planning: City, Environment and Climate Change” attempts to initiate a dialog regarding societal access to decisions through the planning and policy-making process for space and environment. The objective of the conference is to transfer international and European knowledge and past experiences, to showcase initiatives and good practices both in terms of citizens, groups-movements and of local governments. To study theories and methodologies of participatory design. To present and discuss the institutional initiatives of recent years, to see how they are evaluated. To highlight international and local (Greek) good practices and actions etc.
Registration
There is no registration or submission fee.
Due to the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided that “Participatory Planning: City, Environment and Climate Change” will run in hybrid mode, hence it will combine both in-person and virtual experience. This means that all resources and opportunities offered to conference delegates – both presenting and attending – will be equally available for those who decide to join us in Serafeio Athens and those that will be joining online.
We are strictly following all necessary space occupation and hygienic requirements to ensure that those wishing to come in person will be welcome by a safe environment. We are also taking necessary arrangements to ensure that all conference sessions – keynotes, parallel sessions, workshops etc. – will be live-streamed to give the chance to all our delegates to actively participate in the conference.
The presentations can be in pdf or ppt format. The speakers will have 10' minutes to present their work (whether abstract or project) and 5' minutes for questions (if needed, the moderators will contact you for more specific guidelines). The language of each session is indicated in the program. For the presentations that will be online, we suggest you to log-in 5' before the session to confirm that all practicalities are solved.The selected works will be published in a volume of abstracts.
